We've looked at external table with data pump. This works with speed,
but that format is proprietary. We've also looked at UTL_FILE and
this is slow. Looking for ideas suggestions. Streams possibly? Any
third party freeware?

Traditionally for best speed one tactic is a c program running on same
server as database use bequeath or ipc type connection.

Great suggestion. Thought of this but they didn't want to go with C
or C++. Will explore concurrency/threading issues and maybe I can
convince that it's not so bad.... I've only ever created single
threaded C processes. What to do if C/native can't be used?
